Comments (1)Hi..you have several seeds on your list that i like but i don't have the toms you are looking for. But I do have some others. All tom seeds of mine are from 2012 (OP) and have been stored in a cool dark place. Could you please take a peek at my list and see if I have anything you might like. From yours i liked: Aremian cuc galeaux aster mum mix carnation lemon fizz. I really hope you can find seeds from my list that you like....See MoreBig Boy/Big Girl Question
Comments (13)Should I expect the smaller nurseries to carry them, or a bigger chain like Home Depot? Well Home depot carries the rolls of CRW (concrete reinforcing wire) but no, they aren't sold pre-made. You have to make the cages yourself or have someone make them for you unless you can find a gardener with extras who will sell them to you. There are many discussions here about how to make them and I'll dig up some and link them below. Online you can order Texas Tomato Cages (http://www.tomatocage.com/intro.html) already made but they aren't cheap so most of us make our own. They last 10-15 years and all you need is the roll of wire, a tape measure, pair of pliers and a pair of wire cutters.

Comments (3)There are many much better hybrids out there but if you already have these plants and they were free then you might as well use them. Of the 2 I'd pick Super Beefsteak just because the fruit are bigger.
